[Howard says: The lady in the fur coat is Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner, known as Lana, with her newly minted (seventh, I think) husband Ronald Pellar, known as Ronald Dante and Dr. Dante. They are shown arriving at LAX after being married in Las Vegas May 9, 1969. Pellar/Dante was an illusionist in Vegas. As I recall only UPI Photos and myself were there to get photos of the newlyweds. I got a dozen shots and sold them all. The lady on the left is obviously a fan. Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end….]

[Please give Howard a big thanks for sharing his photos with us! You may not know but Howard also covered the famous incident in which a drunken Gail Russell plowed her convertible into Jan’s Restaurant on Beverly Boulevard in 1957. — lrh]

Howard Decker (a.k.a. Fibber) sends along another mystery picture from his career as a photographer. Thanks, Howard!

Wow, I knew two of your guesses, Noel & Lance. Definitely not either one. My wild guess is that the guy is Charlie Manson’s imagined mentor, Terry Melcher. Or Blake Edwards? But that’s just a shot in the dark.

I’ve always felt so sorry for the *legitimate* Ron Dante – the singer/songwriter/session musician behind The Archies and The Cuff Links – he’s probably spent his entire career saying “No, I’m not *that* Ron Dante…”, and I know from reading Lana Turner’s and Cheryl Crane’s respective autobios that the faux Dante did little to discourage that confusion.
